Pretty incredible some of the collections I have seen on here.

It can be very humbling but I collect because I enjoy what I collect. I buy what I like and am able to afford. Sure I wish I could have more but I feel fortunate to have what I have.

 

You own one of the greatest comics in the world, Captain Humility. :)

Yeah. I can take something like 15 pictures of one side of a graded comic alone. I usually shoot it crooked or too much flash. It takes a while, but they look better than scans, IMHO.

Remember though I bought that one off the stands for cover price and was fortunate with it. I should have bought all they had :)

I went for a long time being dissatisfied with my scanner so I didn't scan at all, thinking I would catch up when I found something decent. Now I have a scanner that is better but still not great and I'll never catch up. I'm just shooting for getting all my GA and completed sets done this year.

 

And I collect what I like to collect, too. I don't own any books that I don't really enjoy having. I like the Registry for a lot of reasons but mostly because it helps me keep track of what I'm missing. I enjoy looking at other people's sets, too. Ghost Town and DOc Joe are my favorites because they collect a lot of the some types of titles I do.
